Wait on this one. The hotel's rooftop pool and fitness centre are closed for extensive refurbishment and unavailable to guests, so it sits last on our list until the work ends. Check before you book.

The pool

Hotel Grand Chancellor Melbourne, a 4-star at 131 Lonsdale St, has a rooftop pool. The hotel says the pool and fitness centre are closed for extensive refurbishment and currently unavailable to guests. The floor, heating and reopening date aren't published.

Our take

Six other hotels on our list have a pool you can plan around today. Le Méridien Melbourne has its pool on the 5th floor and sells day passes. Quincy Hotel Melbourne publishes the 28th floor. This hotel can't match either while its pool is shut.

Nobody can swim here at present, and the hotel gives no reopening date. If you need a pool for this booking, choose another hotel and look again once the hotel announces the refurbishment is finished.

Good to know

  • Four stars, on Lonsdale St at number 131
  • Has a rooftop pool once work ends

The catches

  • Rooftop pool closed during refurbishment
  • No reopening date, floor or heating published

Best forTravelers happy with a 4-star on Lonsdale St who will check the pool's status before booking.

Skip it ifYou plan to swim during your stay, because the pool is closed to guests during refurbishment.

Getting in

Access is for guests only, and right now even guests can't use the pool. The hotel lists the rooftop pool and fitness centre as unavailable during extensive refurbishment.

A day pass, bar access and age rules for the pool aren't published by the hotel.

Tips

  • Ask the hotel for the pool's status in writing before you book, and again a week before arrival.

Before you go. Confirm with the hotel that the refurbishment has finished and the rooftop pool is open on your dates. Its own page lists the pool as unavailable.
